Funny fascism: how Trump launders the unthinkable through jokes and memes

As the Canary reports, the White House spent last October recruiting ICE agents by using Halo video game memes. It cast agents as space marines and migrants as an alien invasion to be destroyed. Last Friday, at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Trump wore his signature red cap, this time reading “Trump 2028,”, announcing his intention to run for president for a fourth time, which would break the USA’s two-term constitutional limit. He also insisted he had already won three elections, continuing to deny he lost the 2020 election to Biden. The Guardian‘s write-up that night ran under the headline “Donald…

An Israeli has tried to get a Burger King employee in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, sacked for saying “Free Palestine”. In classic ‘always the victim’ fashion, Rami Feinstein filmed employees, then demanded to know from the food chain: Are you a safe place for Jews right now? The company said it is investigating the ‘incident’. View this post on Instagram A post shared by PAL GLOBAL ECHO (@pal.global.echo) Always the… you know the rest The video sent the Israel lobby into apoplexy as it tried – of course – to cast Israelis as, you’ve guessed it, the victims.

Pakistan’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has accused Al Jazeera of using “handpicked polling stations” and “scripted statements” in Muzaffarabad to “delegitimise”  the electoral process in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). We have taken note of Al Jazeera’s selective reporting from handpicked polling stations in Muzaffarabad today. Through carefully chosen timings and scripted statements from selected individuals, the channel has sought to misrepresent the AJK elections and the voting process.

On Saturday 1 August, Donald Trump’s Truth Social launched a subscription-based service that gives paying customers “real-time” access to posts from its largest accounts. The social media platform is charging up to $100,000 a month for what it calls “market-moving” insights. Critics have called the move an act of “brazen corruption”. Trump, a sitting US president, stands to profit by giving traders early access to the Truth Social posts. Those same traders could then profit from acting on subsequent changes in bonds, interest rates and stock prices. ‘Market-moving Truths’ Trump holds majority ownership of Truth Social via Trump Media & Technology…

Brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate are facing extradition to the UK over alleged sexual offences, trafficking and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. As the Canary has covered, the pair’s lawyer has been behaving in disturbing and erratic ways in his efforts to defend them. This has now seen him spreading misinformation about the Tates’ alleged victims. Andrew Tate's lawyer keeps repeating lies about Tate's alleged victims in the UK being caught "planning to extort Tate." There is no evidence of this. This is an old Tate propaganda talking point from 2023 that he is digging up. pic.twitter.com/ENrIdF6v6N — Gadget (@Gadget440) August…

It’s easy to assume that the theatre is a world of glitz and glamour. A place where performers have their names in lights and live lives of luxury. But many theatre workers face the same challenges common across all sectors. Unpredictable hours and pay, difficulty achieving work-life balance, a general sense of precarity. Performers and other staff in the Equity union have been pushing for an improvement in their terms. And they’ve already had success. A new deal for theatre workers Equity members have voted to ratify a new three-year agreement with the Society of London Theatre (SOLT). It covers pay…

The parliamentary standards watchdog has opened an investigation into Reform UK deputy Richard Tice. The allegation focuses on Tice failing to declare an interest that related to a Commons debate on Israeli influence. Tice himself has disputed media reporting, although the following claim is in part at odds with what the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards stated. Contrary to garbage in media: I am being investigated for standing against antisemitism. You could not make it up. Standards Commissioner is considering complaint by anti semitic anti Israel lobby group over whether I should have referenced my register of interests at start of… —…

One such person is  Jeremy Clarkson, who seemingly spends his free time devising new ways to belittle benefit claimants.

BBC censored film on British army killing child

  • Post last modified:3 August 2026

The very highest levels of the British government secretly exerted pressure on the BBC to censor a film about the army killing an unarmed child in 1972. Official documents, recently discovered by the Pat Finucane Centre, also show the British Army was aware, shortly after the killing in Derry, that the boy had been killed at “point blank” range by an immensely powerful machine-gun. However the Ministry of Defence falsely informed an inquest into his death that he was shot from 25 meters away by a soldier who thought the boy was armed. The case revolves around the shooting dead of…

So-called ‘Israel’ continued to livestream the extermination of an entire people over the weekend, with a massive string of atrocities across Gaza. On Saturday 1 August, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) targeted warehouses used for storing medicines at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. According to Drop Site News, the buildings contained “critical supplies and equipment for kidney dialysis”. Referencing Zionist policies that severely restrict aid to Gaza, hospital director, Raed Hussein, said “supplies have never been fully provided” over the past three years of genocide. He said any that do get in arrive “in a limited and reduced manner”. Now,…

A new four‑day vegan festival in London, billed as being “built on principles of love and kindness for all sentient beings” has been cancelled after complaints from UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI). The Scout Association cancelled the Great Vegan Festival’s venue booking just weeks before the event was to take place at their Gilwell Park Activity Centre in Chingford. The association pulled the plug after UKLFI wrote to management warning them that several acts on the line‑up were “antisemitic”. A statement from the Great Vegan Gathering read: After pressure from UK Lawyers for Israel, Gilwell Park decided to cancel our venue…

German court rules comparing Israel to Nazis is legal

  • Post last modified:3 August 2026

Despite the German state’s slavish support for Israel and its brutal repression of anti-genocide protest, the pro-Palestine movement has scored a major legal victory. The Zweibrücken Higher Regional Court has ruled that comparing Israel with the Nazis is legal. German law bans the display of swastikas and other Nazi-linked symbols. However, the court ruled that they can legally be used: If someone uses the signs for sharp criticism of the methods of the State of Israel and is thus accompanied by a clear distancing or condemnation of Nazi injustice. German rulemakers overturn activist’s fine The court was hearing an appeal brought…

Farage turns down Rupert Lowe’s dodgy cooperation pact

  • Post author:
  • Post last modified:3 August 2026

On Sunday, Restore Britain leader, Rupert Lowe, published a public appeal to Nigel Farage, of Reform UK. The message was superficially a request for the two parties to work together. It didn’t take a genius to spot that Lowe was actually trying to put himself in the driving seat, though. While this obvious ploy was apparent to most, it seemingly wasn’t apparent to many Reform UK supporters. As such, Farage has had to reply, and he did so with a mealy-mouthed response which has been interpreted very differently by different people. The next election will be an existential fight to save…

The response by the UK Labour Government to the failure of a United Nations (UN) nuclear non-proliferation conference to reach a consensus has been criticised by a wide range of UK and international experts and campaigners. The government had sent a minister to speak at the UN in New York at the start of the 11th Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which took place from 27 April to 22 May 2026. Initially, the government chose not to comment when the Canary reported on the failure of the review conference to reach consensus on an outcome document. They have…

Back in March, the Labour government’s bill to restrict access to jury trials – a right enjoyed by English citizens for over 800 years – successfully passed its first reading. But last week, only hours after former Justice Minister David Lammy was dropped from Andy Burnham’s new cabinet, a Downing Street spokesperson announced that the newly coronated Prime Minister had no intention of following through with the plan. Eyebrows were raised, however, at the ministerial re-appointment of Sarah Sackman, Keir Starmer’s ex-solicitor general and a key supporter of Lammy’s jury proposals. Sackman has previously worked as a foreign law clerk at…

The UK has had several big by-elections over the past 12 months, with Reform UK underperforming in all of them. In the most recent, Reform’s underperformance wasn’t the only story; there was also the emergence of Restore Britain. Now, Restore leader, Rupert Lowe, has called for something of a cooperation pact between the two parties. What’s really going on here? The Greater Manchester result showed what Restore Britain can deliver. The next step is how we maximise the chances of delivering the change Britain needs – it means putting personal differences aside. That is why today I am making a public…

  • Post last modified:3 August 2026

Boy George, the multi-award winning music artist, is a convicted criminal who once falsely imprisoned a sex worker in his home by handcuffing him to a radiator. He’s also pretty much the last celebrity willing to defend the genocidal nation of Israel, and this means the Zionists have no option but to hold him up as some sort of hero. Boy George is an iconic British superstar. This week he put out a song to show solidarity with the Jewish people post October 7. It is called We Will Dance Again. As a result, he has been libelled by almost all…
